Is it just me or did the wifi signal strength drop with the buildprop zip?
[Vibrant Android Development] a2296455:
Yes, go to Gmail settings and change the mails to Sync to 7. For some reason it is defaulting to 30.
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
I installed this rom about 3 or 4 times. Sometimes it would go into deep sleep, sometimes it wouldn't. Reinstall usually fixes it for me. Including the slow speed [ps - I don't think the phone goes into deep sleep when plugged in tho so just make sure]
[Vibrant Android Development] 9xnine:
Mine is still great and my Wifi and 3G speeds are pretty impressive too.
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
You need to know which modem works best for your geographic location. In California KB5 which was last official build for Vibrant works the best and this ROM comes with KB5 modem.
[Vibrant Android Development] TFordham:
I really don't use GPS too much, but figured I would look today, and not too bad!
[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
Usually these problems occur if you did not follow exact installation instructions which states you need to format your system in recovery before doing factory reset and flash. If you messed with Tool Box you might have inadvertently overclocked in CPU Slider and I have noticed that if you overclock the phone wont go into deep sleep.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobshute:
The biggest culprit for filling up datadata is gmail. Go to your account(s) setting and decrease the number of days from 30 to 10 or so, ALSO do not have it auto-download attachents.

Next biggest is games. move them to your external sd card.
[Vibrant Android Development] granduke:
I see you have a speed of "2".

I assume you were actrually standing still, correct?

This is my problem, track drift.
[Vibrant Android Development] kawika:
What kinda 3G speeds are you guys getting? My wifi speeds are right on, but anytime I connect using 3G my speeds are topping out at 1-2down.
[Vibrant Android Development] jamesgg:
Just want to say this is awesome, just flashed Passion V7 from CM7. Thanks Neo. Does anyone know if I have to FORMAT SYSTEM and Wipe Data/Factory Reset for future ICS Passion updates. Would be convenient to upgrade while retaining my data.

Thanks again
[Vibrant Android Development] 9xnine:
This is what my speed tests look like after flashing the build.prop zip. Also this Quadrant is after I did the lagfix. Everything is coming together for me now. Phone is going to deep sleep even OC's @ 1300Mhz. GPS works great also. Just went for a drive and it's legit.
[Vibrant Android Development] erick3000:
how did u managed to get those points?

any lag?
[Vibrant Android Development] bobshute:
At this point as a beta there's a lot of system changes going on. To avoid issues I would highly reccomend continuing to format system and factory reset.
[Vibrant Android Development] erick3000:
Thank you, I am located in south florida
[Vibrant Android Development] 9xnine:
No lag. I don't really care about Quadrant at all but many people, Neo included are reporting that the lag fix kills Quadrant. Not the case here. The Download speeds came after flashing the build.prop zip.

Here's what I did:

INIT D LAG FIX!

Before flashing this modified zip I formatted /data, /system, /datadata, /cache, and both of my SD cards also (Sd cards probably not necessarily) and wiped Dalvik cache.

"I suggest you need to flash fresh after doing these steps:

1. Open zip file on your PC.

2. Delete /system/etc/init.d

3. Place THIS file in system/bin, after renaming this to setupdata (without the txt)

4. Flash it. Enjoy no lag but less quadrant."

OC'd at 1300Mhz Smartassv2

"I fixed GPS accuracy issue by switching from Standalon to MS Based.

"in the GPS LbsTest App > Application Settings > Operation Mode > MS Based" to improve GPS accuracy"

Try these steps:

1. Launch NB AngryGPS

2. Delete GPS Data

3. Hit Setting

4. General Setting

5. Select OFF on the XTRA

6. Launch FasterFix

7. Select North north-america

"added .nomedia to my clockworkmod folder and titanium backup folder in the root of the SD card. The media scanner quit eating battery after that."

"in SysControl, go to the Performance tab and click on build.prop Tweaks and change the Wifi scan interval rate to 180 from 90. "

INIT D LAG FIX!

"I suggest you need to flash fresh after doing these steps:

1. Open zip file on your PC.

2. Delete /system/etc/init.d

3. Place THIS file in system/bin, after renaming this to setupdata (without the txt)

4. Flash it. Enjoy no lag but less quadrant."

Stopped Google photo sync.

Cleared Cache and force stopped all Google apps. (Mail, Calender, Talk, Market, etc.)

Reboot into recovery, fix permissions
[Vibrant Android Development] androidmonkey:
Unfortunately, I cannot even open Gmail to change this setting...

Any suggestions?

Why cant more space be allocated to /datadata? 172M seems like nothing.

EDIT:

I turned off Sync, cleared Gmail data, then I was able to open Gmail and change the settings. It was taking up 120M of the space!

I still dont understand why we only have 172M for app data.
[Vibrant Android Development] erick3000:
can u provide the build prop? also i flashed the one that had the fix already and yes it killed quadrant i get only 1290 something like that
[Vibrant Android Development] djluis48:
For some reason, i don't have any of the extra apps...only the Galaxy S Settings app. No other custom app is installed. How am i supposed to OC the phone? I don't see the app anymore in there. :/
[Vibrant Android Development] 9xnine:
Hmm, I did the fix myself. I would say I could have done it wrong but lag went away and Quadrant is still strong.

Here is the link to the Builp prop thanks to vibrantThemer who also helped me out with my GPS

Actually, I was on the golf cart, so that probably is accurate.
[Vibrant Android Development] Exel:
Download Voltage Control from the market?
[Vibrant Android Development] 9xnine:
I believe it is because the ICS ROM is much bigger than what this phone was designed for. System Partition needs to be bigger to accommodate for the ROM thus making the datadata partition smaller.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobshute:
Long story but basicly for speed. Apps store data in /data/data. This is on your internal sd card. Not the fastest. so a partition /datadata was created on internal memory on faster nand (same place as /system) this is faster but not very big. /data/data is changed into a symlink to this faster partition at /datadata.

It's speed vs size. Before you did the "lag fix" It was in a true /data/data folder, after the "lag fix" you changed it to the symlink to /datadata.

172MB should be plenty except for offending apps like Gmail. I would wager you had at least 50 other apps and they only took up 50MB while Gmail took up 120MB by itself.

BTW, Samsung Roms do not use /datadata thus they had more room but we needed voodoo to make them run worth sh^t.

hey can someone please tell me how to fix my gallery from closing everytime I open it. Please help!
[Vibrant Android Development] erick3000:
Can u recheck that link plis is not working thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] djf8:
There are two methods....one requires solder and the other doesn't. I used the solderless method.
[Vibrant Android Development] GTOJim:
I remember in the early days of the Voodo lag fix the early Vibrant's had a larger nand chip and could not use Voodo lag fix on a 2.1 rom. After the release of 2.2 roms all Vibrants were able to use the Voodo lag fix.

I wonder if it's the early phones using a different nand chip that are having a problems with lag with v7

Maybe we should do an informal pole?

My Vibrant was made in July.
[Vibrant Android Development] 9xnine:
Works fine from here.
[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
Thank you for clearing that up for me, I already made the change... so I ask these two questions.

How much space was there before in the original /data/data? (determining if lag is of greater issue than space).

What would be the best way to revert back?
[Vibrant Android Development] bobshute:
/data has 2 GB. you can do it manually but I would recommend reflashing v7 without the lag fix, with all the wipes and formats, if you want to go back. BACKUP of course.

To do it manualy

get root explorer if you don't have it

go to the /data folder and rename the /data/data symlink to /data/dataX

create a new /data/data folder

Go to /data/dataX and multi-select all and copy

go to /data/data and paste all

Boot into recovery, wipe cache

go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache

reboot into system

Let it sit for 10 minutes like a new flash.

Again I would just recommend reflashing the non-lagfix version of V7.
[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
Thank you for the help :)

I dont know what your background is... but I think some of the numbers may be off. The phone appears capable of HSDPA category 9 and I believe I saw on chipset spec sheets of it being HUPA capable (or maybe it was the "Vibrant4G" I don't recall)... I found a few links digging around to help me understand some of the other values. I'm still reading but I wanted to understand those settings I'm changing to see what the vibrant actually supports.

---- Edit ---

I believe those configs set it to UTMS only, but those speeds are way faster than UTMS.. it makes no sense... :x
[Vibrant Android Development] kawika:
What is "the build.prop.zip" I'd like to try it as my speeds are not as good as yours. I'm lucky if I can get over 3mbps on 3G

well, im not sure what happened. The rom runs amazing compared to v1. Its smooth and a lot more user friendly. musicfx did force close on me when setting up my sounds, but thats all ive run into.

I have one main issue and im sure it was my error somewhere, but when it first booted, my data worked flawlessly. It came on by itself and worked like it typically should but after a few minuted it stopped. Wifi still works, but even the little 3g app hasnt been able to restore it. any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] james11417:

Someone made this request way back during V6 and I wanted to make it again, you may even be working on it, but for the SMS can we get a customer blacked out version? I send a ton of messages a day and it would just be nice to have a darker version I think. As we start to get more stable I think it would be a nice addition.
[Vibrant Android Development] hippotek:
Just download handcent sms and make your own dark version... much more powerful than stock app anyways...
[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
Which build.prop... and do you mean the sd cards? If so... I guess I need to learn how to edit the build.prop...

I'm using a custom rom now so i dont know why I'm worried about editing to much lol

Anyone have a stock 2.2 build.prop handy? Not sure how to extract it from my ODIN tars...
[Vibrant Android Development] lwdjdmr:
thaaaaaaaaaaaank you!!!!!:o
[Vibrant Android Development] chaulklet:
This would be surely awesome! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] Raistline:
Whether you have Root Explorer or ES Explorer the task should be the same, but you will need a file explorer with root.

Go to your "/" partition(phone root) then the "System" folder. Your build.prop file is located there. Open the file and your explorer will ask which application to use.

Use the default text editing application for your file explorer. Doing this will allow you to edit build.prop.

You should not need to reboot to see the changes but rebooting has never hurt anyone.

Also here are my results after doing the non-solder version of their fix.

While driving

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

While Parked

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

Both times while moving and while parked it took 3-5 seconds to lock on initially and about 20 seconds to get the accuracy down to where the screen shot shows it.

Your milage may vary, but for me it made my GPS 1000X better than any software fix ever has.
[Vibrant Android Development] mdkathon:

1) How has everyone handled their upgrades? from 5, to 6, to 7, etc.

2) I'm having a tough time finding NB AngryGPS .... help?

[Vibrant Android Development] mveksler:
I have tested GPS after making my changes to gps.conf and switching from Standalon to MSBased that I get much better results. I was walking outside and was gettring 6-9m accuracy all the way. It take a 1-2m to lockon so it is ok you will see GPS drifting a lot but once it locks on it is rock solid. No hardware fix.

Just added additional gps.conf properties.

FYI

This post is FYI -

V8 will require you to be on GB Bootloaders. I recommend you get them installed before V8 is released. Doing so will make your flashing experience smoother/faster.

If you do not know what GB bootloaders are, then click the link below.

If you think you

might

have GB bootloaders already, flash them again anyways, click the link below.

If your

pretty sure

that you have Gb bootloaders already, flash them again anyways, click the link below.

If your

positive

that you have Gb bootloaders, do not click anything, flash v8 when released.

If you are afraid of flashing GB bootloaders or even using odin, then close your pc browser, shutdown your computer, walk outside and throw your phone in the road.

There is no way around not flashing GB bootloaders.

This is from the Facebook Group doc
[Vibrant Android Development] bobshute:
haha, I went to GB bootloaders a long time ago. They are compatable with Eclair and Froyo so there is never a reason to not have them.

Plus the button mapping is so much better.

Vol Up+Power for Download (period, no batt pulls, no USB, no nothing)
